Drug Treatment Facility Elmhurst

Fear and uncertainty are oftentimes the biggest obstacles to rehabilitation, which can be a long and difficult process that will almost always require supervised professional assistance. Combining the proper support and professional help, you can overcome your substance abuse problem.

At Drug Rehabilitation Facility Elmhurst we provide a wide range of substance abuse treatment services to people that come to our rehab center struggling with addiction problems. Most people that become addicted to drugs like vicodin, percocet, lortab, heroin, cocaine, meth and other substances that bring about abuse and addiction are typically at a loss of how to stop by themselves without help. We have helped countless struggling addicts to conquer their addiction with our extensive rehabilitation methods and recovery principles.

Detoxification

The first step of our treatment program is our detox program. After a person has consumed an addictive drug for a regular period of time an addiction occurs and takes over. When this happens it may be unsafe to abruptly stop using the drug without professional assistance from a medically monitored detox program. Addictive substances such as alcohol, valium, cocaine, heroin, meth, crack, demerol, fentanyl and many others cause a wide range of withdrawal effects such as agitation, anxiety, muscle aches, insomnia, sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, cramping, nausea and other symptoms.

At Drug Treatment Elmhurst we offer the often necessary medical supervision to help out clients be as comfortable as possible through the withdrawal period. We provide 24 hour around the clock care and support during this critical first phase in the recovery process. Program participants typically state that they feel a great sense of accomplishment when they have completed our detox program.

A vital step in recovering from addiction is to acknowledge that you have a problem. An individual who is in denial about their addiction cannot move forward to solving a problem they deny they have. For many, when it comes down to confronting their addiction problem, also requires the individual to look at why and how it developed to start with. Addiction often happens when someone starts taking the drug or alcohol to relieve physical and/or emotional pain in order to handle negative feelings and emotions. If an individual doesn't recognize the source issues fueling their addiction and does not receive help, it will typically be extremely difficult for them to overcome their addiction.

Acknowledging that you have a problem is an extremely important first step of recovery from alcohol addiction or drug abuse. In addition you also need to have the desire to put forth the effort to change your life. Taking a look at all the reasons for making a change will help you navigate the road to rehabilitation. Many people find it helpful to make a list the reasons why they want to put an end to their addiction. Reasons might include wanting to be a better parent, be a happier person overall, to be the person you really want to be, repair damaged relationships, to improve your health, or to reverse other negative situations that addiction causes.

Do not only focus on the problems as a result of your substance abuse, because focusing in on the negative things of the past can make you feel depressed and hopeless. Rather, embrace your new addiction-free life and recovery. Focus on the positive things that are sure to happen when you have conquered your addiction. At Drug Rehab Center Elmhurst we will help you to embrace your new opportunities for a new, brighter future. A new life accomplishing past forgotten goals and dreams in your new addiction-free life. You will feel better physically, have more energy and enthusiasm, be more secure financially, have lasting relationships, be more productive overall, and have time to have fun and explore new hobbies. Setting aside time to list out these goals can keep you excited and motivated throughout the recovery process.

Long Term Rehabilitation goals

At Drug Treatment Elmhurst we have learned that the most important factor in determining success is whether the person has successfully overcome their addiction. Success can only be determined by the patient's confidence in their ability to remain clean. Short term rehab protocols commonly fall short of this goal.

We know that it is extremely important not to be under time restraints while in rehabilitation. The time that you stay in treatment can provide a lifetime of sobriety, it is well worth the investment of whatever time that it needs. We locate the underlying reasons that may be at the root of the addiction. We will help you to repair the damages that you have caused in your life so that you are not filled with regret. You will learn life skills, coping skills and relapse prevention methods so that you are not just sober when when you complete treatment, but know how to stay sober for a lifetime.
